How to travel with your jewelry.
It’s no secret that one of my many obsessions involves jewelry. The minute I see anything shiny the logical part of my brain shuts off and my eyes glaze over. I can’t seem to focus and I get really really happy. So of course when I travel I want to bring everything I own with me. Luckily, I usually retain enough sense to stop myself as it would be a real tragedy to lose an expensive piece. It’s a little embarrassing to admit that I used to take my chosen pieces, place them in a little box that I’d tape shut and shove it in to my bag. I know, I know, but all of that nonsense stopped when I found an elegant jewelry roll. I feel like it alone makes my jewelry look that much nicer.
It has a lot of room for storage, but as I said I like to bring only a few key pieces with me. I definitely need a watch. I don’t necessarily wear one everyday, but when I’m away from home I don’t like to rely solely on my phone. With my love of vintage watches it’s usually a little sad to leave them at home, however, a sparkly chunky silver one will get me through any situation that I might come across.
I travel with my simple rings. For one, I don’t want to break or lose any of my more delicate ones so simple silver will have to do and second, I live by Ines de La Fressange’s statement that your wedding ring is the most beautiful piece of jewelry that you’ll own. I always have it with me.
Since cutting my hair you can actually see my earrings so I like to change them up. I usually take my simple clean hoops, a pair with a bit of colour and a pair that’s larger and more fun. They are perfect for dressing an outfit up or down depending on my mood and the day.
Last but not least a bracelet or two to go with my watch. I’m loving the skinny silver one. It’s adjustable and I can easily wear it around my wrist or higher up on my arm. The charm bracelet is kind of like my safety blanket. I’ve had it forever and it goes wherever I do.
Noticed that I didn’t add any necklaces to this collection? Well that’s because they are on my shopping list for our upcoming trip to Portland. Our hotel kindly sent me a list (2 pages) of places to shop and I can’t wait to discover them!
How to travel with your jewelry? I would love to know your tips!

Oh my! I love the wrist watch! Well, we can be best of friends when it comes to jewelry collection hehehe! Have a great weekend gorgeous!
Hugs and kisses from ♥ missJHENZ
The bracelets are beautiful! 🙂
Interesting choices! I’m like you in that I don’t take a lot of jewellary and don’t take anything expensive (except for my wedding, engagement and anniversary rings which never leave my fingers).
I tend to just pop them in side pockets in my toiletry bag to save weight as I’m usually desperate to do.
Ha! So am I but I find this roll so lightweight and it tucks into my bag nicely!

Beautiful pieces!
Have a great weekend!

The roll is so cool 🙂 Usually I take very little (or no) jewellery with me when I travel so I could def use one like that 🙂 Lovely jewellery you got 🙂

Thanks for reminding me – I desperately need a jewelry roll for travel!
Anytime! Actually I’m shocked, with the amount of travel you do how do you not have one?

I have my travel jewelry and my stay at home jewelry. It is not worth me worrying about me losing it or worse theft. Hoops are the best for traveling…love always having a pair with me too.
Agreed!!! Now I just feel like I need to travel more…

Jewelry rolls are the way to go when traveling. Like you, I am a sucker for bling, so I make sure to leave enough room for new bling when I travel 😉

Ha! Me too. I’ve already found some amazing pieces….
First of all, I need that jewelry roll. I just got back from a trip and my travel bag for jewelry is comical. Second, I cannot wait to see what necklaces you pick up on your trip! How fun to know that you get to come back with unknown treasure!

I have one of these “travel rolls” too, but I think I like yours better. Mine kind of has a big bag in the middle for larger pieces – and pockets on each side for rings and smaller stuff – but I always end up being lazy and stuffing everything together so that it’s a mess when I get there 😛
That was my problem with the big complicated ones, I couldn’t mess this one up if I tried!

This is great! I always forget to take jewellery when I travel and I never wear a watch, I think it’s time I invest in one! xx http://lesimplyclassy.blogspot.com.au/
It was so worth it to have!
